Since the name of the cache is not listed, and to see the name you have to click on the link, wouldn't that make the "most visited" caches even more "visited" than they might otherwise be?

Hey, that's cool SpongeRob. Thanks for the stats.

Actually I have plans to get the name in there, just not quite there yet

How does it look massaged into a PDA, though?

Guess it would depend on the PDA. It's using IFRAME so on most it's probably not visible.

You know, maybe this is of topic, but I'm not going to start another thread just to ask this question.

What is the relationship between KeenPeople.com and Geocaching.com?

I've seen a lot of posts that reference KeenPeople.com these days, and I just can't remember if they've all come from SpongeRob or not.

Is KeenPeople.com a non-profit site? Does gc.com have some sort of relationship developing with kp.com, or is SpongeRob just sponging off of gc.com.

I'm confused.

Wouldn't that of been a better question to him via email? It sounds as if you are trying to make something out of it or find fault with him.

Perhaps you're right.

Its too bad you took it that way. If you're specifically referring to the "sponge" comment. I was just trying to be ironical.

No it's not just the sponge comment. I got the joke there, but others may not look at it that way, nor he. I think the part about him being non-profit and if he has a relationship with gc. Then to sum it up with the "I'm confused" part. You may not intended it that way, but it was easily construed that way.

BTW, i'm gonna start working on your puzzle cache soon, the "N'la" one...I heard it was a doozy.

After thinking about it a bit, I stand by my original post. I'm not "trying to start something," and, although it (and the rest of this post) may be grossly off topic, I think its a question that deserves answering.

After all, at first blush the website does seem to be a bit commericial, what with the advertisements, mechandise, etc. If it's above the board, fine, no problem, I'd appreciate hearing so. If however, it's commercializism the type of which has been denied before, I'd like to know that too.

But, I digress.

As for N'la Aza Kna Naa, she's my greatest geocaching accomplishment to date. Let me know what you think of her. I might just see you out on the trail, I've been meaning to check up on some of her legs.

SpongeRob is just a sponge.

Seriously. Keenpeople.com is an open community of users who use GPS Technology in the outdoors. Geocaching is a part of that. We also have tutorials on Map Creation which in no is not really related to Geocaching.

Keenpeople.com was deisgned to be an open site of outdoors content. We have news about all sorts of things some related to geocaching others not. We also have NANU Bulletins and many other features (like cache ratings). We're simply about having GPS related content on our site.

We're not. I happen to have advertisement for my own products (stuff I created). It helps fund the measly $20 a month I pay to the web hosts. If somone wants to help support the site great, if not It's still out there.

If anything it's a hobby.

Some other things about keenpeople.com

*ALL* registered users may submit news, articles, weblinks, etc. *I* don't drive all of the content. You want to place an article about you and your dog hiking in the woods - keenpeople.com is the place for that. We're about the experiences and the information.

If somone came to me and said "hey, how about doing this..." on the site and it seemed related we'd put it up online. We're for the users not for the profit (of which we've made $8 total in all donations).
